Smart Out-of-Band Management

Access infrastructure during network outages

﻿

Out-of-Band (OOB) management provides an alternative path to devices located at remote sites when the primary network is down. Separate to the production network, this allows administrators to securely monitor, access and manage all devices without impacting normal operations. Able to integrate seamlessly with existing IT network and management systems, it minimizes disruptions with an always-on connection.

To ensure even more continuity and uptime for mission-critical applications, organizations are utilizing the automated intelligence of Smart Out-of-Band (Smart OOB™).

Provide the needed assurance of uptime

Architected to exceed the demands of IT and IoT resilience, highly scalable Smart OOB is able to manage the infrastructure of hundreds of sites and thousands of devices. It protects business continuity at the hardware layer. This approach enables advanced capabilities for automatic responses and repair allowing organizations to detect faults before they become failures. Advanced troubleshooting and remediation at the network’s edge allowing organizations to reduce operating costs and minimize downtime, all from one centralized console.

So what makes Opengear’s Out-of-Band so Smart? It can:

Detect and remediate issues automatically

Operate independently from in-band network

Send automated alerts via email or SMS to notify of any network issues

Learn how cloud provider Secura Hosting utilized Smart OOB to reduce the time-consuming nature of dispatching engineers to its data center sites to make configuration changes and troubleshoot issues. Having deployed Smart Out-of-Band by Opengear, they’ve improved their management capabilities which led to a return on investment in just seven months.

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) allows network devices at remote locations to be deployed and provisioned without the need for administrators to be onsite. They can now automate redundant tasks, reduce human error and reduce deployment costs.

Lighthouse 5 is a central network hub that provides a clear view across the network and resilient access during network disruptions. Scalable to suit any business requirements, it reduces human error and guarantees repeatability.
